I was just researching this amp. According to the website it's a 4 ohm amp. I have the J&M 7.25's which i believe are 2 ohm and ill be getting some sort of 6x9 for the lids. Will running 2 ohm fronts damage the amp or speakers?

 

depends if that amp is 2-ohm stable.

 

this amp is not 2 ohm stable,u can use 2 2 ohm speakers if..u wire them in series,this shows the amp a 4 ohm load but cuts the wattage in half.it would also require 4 2 ohm speakers to use 2 channels.

 

Excuse my ignorance but could you solder in 2 ohm resistors to make them 4 ohms?

 

not sure but,i would go with 4 ohm speaker and not cut the power in half,a 100$set of 6.5 would sound better at full power than 7.25 at half power.

 

I would get a nice set of 4 ohm 6.5's for the front to make everything match IMHO. I'm running two of those rockford amps with 4 speakers in the fairing and a set in my lowers and the thing freaking rocks! Looking at saddlebag lid speakers down the road to fill my remaining 2 open channels

 

Anybody wanna trade some J&M 7.25's for some 4 ohm 6.5's?? Lol

 

Back to the drawing board... There will be a pair of front speakers and a jbl 2 channel amp for sale soon
